Buying a Home, Step by Step
Top Tips for Working With Your Buying Agent
A home is likely the biggest investment you’ll make in your lifetime, so it can feel overwhelming. Your REMAX agent is here to answer your questions and take the guesswork out of the transaction. These three tips will help you maximize the agent-client relationship.
Find the Right Agent.
Research real estate agents online, read reviews and solicit recommendations from family and friends. Look for experience. An experienced, full-time real estate professional will likely have already experienced market ups and downs, and will know how to navigate current conditions.
Communicate.
Choose an agent who you feel has your best interests in mind and will help you navigate
the process with effective and timely communication. Be sure to discuss your home-hunting goals with your REMAX agent. Be sure to cover topics such as your budget, your lifestyle, and your five-year plan.
Trust the Process.
This may be your first time buying a home,
but an experienced real estate agent has
done this many, many times. Ask lots of questions to ensure you understand the process, and then trust that your agent
has your best interests in mind. Let them
do what they do best.
